Due July 2026 🤍

[ThePatternAmber]

Hey, anyone else due July 2026? I got my first faint positive at 10dpo on Thursday 23rd October, I’m now 14dpo/4 weeks pregnant. Feeling nervous as still very early my period was due tomorrow. I’ve booked an early scan for in a few weeks so hopefully everything is all good, now just an anxious wait

@StayingHopefulx will keep all crossed for you! The waiting is the worst bit. If the consultant isn’t worried, try to put your mind at rest as worrying about what may never happen will not only drive you insane, but rob you of this time and won’t change the outcome xxx keep us updated

hearing July babies updates and realising I’m probably a June baby now!! Well babies…I’ll stay in this thread due to being at the same week as you all, but I know the likelihood is I’ll deliver early. The cost of twin baby items is extortionate (not that I am buying yet) 😓

Scan is officially two weeks away, bang on 12 weeks. Excited and nervous - the nerves and worry for scans never goes away

@StayingHopefulx I’m so sorry this isn’t something I’ve had experience of but can completely understand why you’re so worried, it does make sense that tiny differences in measuring style or anything could impact this. I really hope you get some answers soon.

@SoftLaunch what is it about salt and vinegar crisps???! Pringles particularly…

@EL27 I actually got my scan appointment through today for 4.40pm on Christmas Eve so you never know! I need to change it as they’ve got my dates wrong.

I’ve been reading but not posting the past few days as felt very anxious. I had a scan today at the early pregnancy unit as I have a heart condition and needed a scan apparently to be referred to the special clinic I was under last time. Anyway, I was absolutely bricking it as was so sure something would be wrong or I’d be stuck in limbo but there baby was, little heart beating away, I’m measuring 6weeks 3 days.

I also had my booking in today which I thought was very early but turns out they had my last period as 2nd October not 20th! Hence having to rearrange the scan. Starting to feel more hopeful not we’ve seen it’s heart beating but god I’m exhausted and toddler care while pregnant is proving testing!!

Hi all,
wanted to join if that’s ok!
took some time away from the internet during TTC as was driving myself mad!

im 9+5 and due on 5th July! We lost a baby at 15 weeks in March this year so it’s been a bumpy ride and the anxiety is pretty high!

I was diagnosed with HG at 6 weeks and have been hospitalised twice (writing this from my hospital bed!) so not the nicest start, but the one positive is I have ultrasounds every entry and exit at hospital so have had a few more scans on top and extra docs to ask and check on status of baby and so far all looking good! Booked in for the big first scan incl. nipt on 18th Dec and feeling v. nervous for that but day by day.

hope everyone is feeling alright🤍

Hey everyone! I’m 7 weeks today! I had a few days where I haven’t had many symptoms, then yesterday afternoon the fatigue hit me like a ton of bricks…went home after work, had a cheese sandwich and got into bed for the rest of the night 😂 haven’t had any sickness just a bit of nausea but definitely some aversions. My husband suggested something for tea that I usually really like, but it sounded revolting 😂
I’m struggling at work already. The days are so long and I have 0 motivation. Then I’m anxious because I’m worried I’m doing a naff job 😅 anyone else?

I’m 6+1 and ready for maternity leave 😂 hoping I feel a bit less tired in the second trimester but I feel your pain work wise!

@jw97 yes and feeling guilty as I've only been back from my last mat leave for a few months! Wild to think it might be late 2027 before my head is fully back in the work game 🙃

Same!! I work for an international company and a Polish colleague told me that a doctor can sign them off for pregnancy leave from the day of a positive test! I can only dream 😂

Had my booking app today I'm 9+2, was supposed to be last week but rearranged, she asked questions about health, did blood pressure and carbon monoxide etc all ok. I will be 12 weeks on Christmas eve but my midwife told me my dating scan is 2nd Jan! So now I'm debating when to tell people and whether to have a private scan beforehand. 🤔

I'm excited to have a summer baby. ☀️ My birthday is end of June and I've had birthdays at the beach, BBQ party, garden parties. It's also a good gap between Christmas (my first is a January baby) only thing I'm not looking forward to is how hot the hospital will be that time of year! 😅

Wooo I’m 9+1 so not too far behind you - I had the same thought about the hospital and lack of air con and giving birth in the heat.. let’s hope the summer isn’t too crazy.. might need to purchase a big fan for the hospital room!

@jw97yes me, I’m definitely also doing a rubbish job at work, but I am lucky as I work from home most days so can hide it. Motivation is zero at the moment. And I don’t really care either.. oops.

I have a question. Why do Walkers Salt & Vinegar crisps taste like heaven when pregnant?! I'm not fussed usually 😂

9 weeks today 😳

Salty Pringles for me!!

Oh my gosh @jw97 now I want a sandwich with soft white processed bread and Easi single cheese 😂

I’m also on the salt and vinegar Pringles train. I’ve gotten through two tubes this week

Cheese and Onion crisps for me!

That is so lucky! I’m in the office every day 😭 but yes exactly 😂😂

haha yes it was white sliced bread! I don’t know why but it was so amazing 😂😂 had a cheese toastie for lunch too…im just carb central at the moment but trying not to feel too bad about it 😬

It’s hula hoops over here 👈 🙈 any flavour but has to be hula hoops!

I can’t get enough of toast and cereal recently. Another favourite is tangfastics 😍

Refreshers sweets and salt & vinegar squares here!

I had my first proper bout of insomnia last night 🥱

On the food front I've also been enjoying big bowls of cereal with cold milk and that's something I never normally go near. I keep adding curries to the weekly meal plan too.

I’ve been waking up way earlier than normal all week 😅 the other morning it was 4:30am 😭

Oh @SoftLaunch @jw97 same here 😴 awake from 4 til 6 most days, if I'm lucky I get another 30mins to an hour after that. But not often! It's so annoying. Hope it improves for us all soon.

I think I’m reaching a point of symptoms fading - it never gets easier waiting for scans and I think this is the reallly hard stretch - symptoms fade but you have to wait for twelve weeks and it’s so hard not to overthink.

scan is in 13 days and counting! Hoping all is still ok

Ooo I’m glad to hear that symptoms are slowing for you @Juicytoot287i hope to be there at some point!

Anyone feel their symptoms got worse around week 9? I have felt non-stop nausea today and it’s worse if I don’t eat, so I have had to constantly graze.. so far I’ve eaten 3 slices of toast and butter, 2 hard boiled eggs, a baked potato with loads of cheese and butter, a plum, some chocolate, half an apple, carrot sticks and cottage cheese, pretzels dipped in cream cheese, and most of a large bag of salt & vinegar chips with hummus.. my grazing seems never ending 🫠 please tell me I’m not alone.

You’re not alone! I’m 7 weeks and I’m just going off most normal meals 😂 it’s not even like I can’t stand the smell or sound of it either, I just think nothing sounds appealing at all, except takeaways 😂😂 which I can’t afford to eat several times a week, in more ways than one 😂
